Short Bio
I am an Associate Professor in Political Theory at Lund University specialized in democratic theory and history of political thought. From 2012 to 2019, I worked as a Researcher and Lecturer at the Department of Government, Uppsala University. A recipient of several fellowships, including the Seeger Fellowship at Princeton University, the Erik Allard Fellowship at the Swedish Collegium for Advanced Study and the Marie Curie Intra-European Fellowship, I have a PhD from the Centre of Excellence in Political Thought, University of Jyväskylä (2011), and in 2018 I became Docent (Habilitation) at Uppsala University.
My main research interests lie at the intersection of democratic theory, constitutional law and electoral politics. I am also interested in 19th and 20th century political thought, ancient democracy, ideas of representation, voting rights, populism, parliamentarism and rhetoric.
I have authored The History of Compulsory Voting in Europe (Routledge 2015) and co-edited Militant Democracy and its Critics (with Alexander Kirshner, Edinburgh University Press 2019), Equal Representation (with Lisa Hill, CRISPP Special issue 19, 3, 2016) and Rhetoric, Politics and Conceptual Change (with Kari Palonen, 2011). My articles have appeared in journals such as Political Studies, History of Political Thought, Constellations, Redescriptions and Critical Review of International Social and Political Philosophy.
Since 2016, I am co-editor of Redescriptions: Political Thought, Conceptual History and Feminist Theory and co-chair of the ECPR Standing Group on Political Concepts.
I have taught courses in democratic theory, political ideologies, comparative politics, and political theory both at undergraduate and postgraduate level in Uppsala and Jyväskylä, and have been a Visiting Professor in Adelaide, Rome, Helsinki, Dublin, Berlin and Athens. During 2017-20, I am teaching the online course European Political Ideologies in the 20th c. at the Hellenic Open University (BA in European Culture Studies).
I live in Uppsala, am married to the socio-linguist Josep Soler (Stockholm), and we have one son, Orestis.
